Instead try this: Say "What?" And stare at them. Wait for them to explain. Act as though you do not know what a sneeze is. Allow them to explain the process of a sneeze. Tell them you have never experienced that in your life. Wait for them to get exasperated then in a dismissive way mention that you aren't sure you believe them, and change the subject.
Congratulations, you have won this interaction.
The ol' smooth shark maneuver
I always say “shut up” in the most annoyed way possible.
Lol
I don't see anything wrong with gesundheit. It means health. And really I feel like the German expression is just saying - be healthy dammit, and stop sneezing!
You can also say "Schönheit – gesund biste ja": "Beauty – you're already healthy after all"
It used to be something to say to yourself. A little "fuck I hope I'm not next" prayer.
That's what my German grandfather taught me to say and it's what I say.
I started saying "Gesundung" as a joke 10 years ago, and now I can't stop. It's not a real word, but if it were it would mean "Getting healthy". Seemed more appropriate to me at the time, and still kinda does.
Gesundheit

Mahlzeit!
People who intentionally yell when they sneeze can fuck off.
It feels very good, like physically itches the inside back of my throat (amazing if you're having an allergic response to something), while being deeply psychologically satisfying to yell from your abdomen. I try to only do it at home, but there's a reason some people scream-sneeze.
I vocalize pretty loudly when I sneeze and it’s entirely involuntary. I hate that I do it and I’ve tried to force myself to stop and it doesn’t work.
"Fucking grow up."
sneeze once "Bless you."
Sneeze twice "Gesundheit."
Sneeze three times "Ok now you're just fishing for attention."
"I hate when you do that"
That's my favorite
I like "cleanup aisle 5!"
"Satan curse you"
“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that.” - in a Siri voice “Nah, I’m good, thanks though.” “Dude! You scared the crap outta me!”

I always 'shhhh' like a librarian would
I usually go with "None of that"
In Greece we say "Γείτσες", which is a dimunitive for "Υγεία" (=Health), so essentially its like wishing the other person to be healthy.
We say the same in the Netherlands, and sometimes we also say the equivalent for "cheers", not sure why though.
Curse you.
"Well done" and "clean that up" are my favourites
I like to say GOD BLESS YOU in the most dramatic exaggerated way possible immediately after I sneeze so I beat everyone to the punch. You can't bless me bitches.
"Don't you dare ask God to help me," Crawford reportedly snapped at the nurses praying at her bedside, before moments later the Academy Award winner took her final breath.

In Dutch you can say "you sneezed"
So the expected response in Dutch is to just tell someone they sneezed?
Wow, I've never heard anybody say that; is that a regional thing? Just like "Je niest" and that's the response?
U niest
-bedankt voor de attentie
(the response is not quite as standard as the first line)
"I disagree"
get any on you?
Ew
Yuk
Sneezing isn’t normal, I never sneeze
I always tell my partner to cut it out when they sneeze.
I prefer the simple "Curse you."
"Heard, chef"
recently, schatzi asked me to stop saying gesundheit or bless you or something each time she sneezes because it triggers her to sneeze again apparently...
Why don't you try to go for a high score? I wonder if they could whip out a 10 streak.
I say "god damn you" to unwork the broken blessing system.
